And refusing to just put American alcohol back on the shelves is truly petty when the U.S. is and has always been our biggest trading partner. And Mark Carney trying to wait to see if Trump loses in the midterms is just plain stupid.<\/p>\n<p>They are costing we taxpayers a fortune so they can play political games.<\/p>\n<p>Get to the table and negotiate a deal to get our country and economy back on track. Enough with their childish political games.<\/p>\n<p>RENE KLABOUCH<br \/>KEMPTVILLE<\/p>\n<p>TO SUBURBIA WITH THEM<\/p>\n<p>Charles and Camilla abandon Buckingham Palace, 24 Sussex in Ottawa is a disgrace, and the White House is being hacked to pieces for an ego trip! All this waste and insanity on the backs of taxpayers. Suckers all!<\/p>\n<p>Tell all these bigwigs to move to suburbia and live a normal life \u2014 and pay their own way.<\/p>\n<p>BILL SHOLDICE<br \/>MISSISSAUGA<\/p>\n<p>THEY REALLY NEED TO INVESTIGATE IT?<\/p>\n<p>The Republicans\u2019 proposed bill to investigate so-called discriminatory treatment of American alcohol by Canadian provinces shows total ignorance. It\u2019s Donald Trump\u2019s damn tariffs that have forced our provinces to take such action against U.S. booze.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the tariffs and maybe we will allow U.S. booze on our retail shelves again \u2014 it\u2019s not rocket science.<\/p>\n<p>JIM MCEWEN<br \/>BOWMANVILLE<\/p>\n<p>HAVE YOUR SAY<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\">Your letters are welcome, at:\u00a0<a data-evt-val=\"{\" control_fields=\"\" link=\"\" data-evt=\"click\" data-evt-typ=\"click\" href=\"mailto:OttSun.Oped@sunmedia.ca\">OttSun.Oped@sunmedia.ca<\/a>.\u00a0Include your first and last name\u00a0AND city\/town.
